It’s not every day we get to give away an entire screening! Thanks to Palace Films and Paramount Cinemas in Wellington, Admit One is proud to present a special FREE(!) preview screening of the gripping Norwegian drama King of Devil’s Island (Kongen av Bastøy), starring Stellan Skarsgård. Based on remarkable true events in Norway in 1915, King of Devil’s Island tells an extraordinary story of friendship, loyalty and rebellion, set on a remote ice-bound island reform school.

The preview is Wednesday 11 July, 8pm. Rock on up to the Paramount box office on Courtenay Place, from today onwards, give them the password ‘ADMIT ONE’ and get your free tickets. First come, first served.

The catch, I hear you ask? There is none. But if you come along and like the movie, tell others to go and see it – supporting Palace Films and Paramount Cinemas in their effort to bring us great films that might otherwise not get a cinematic release.

King of Devil’s Island first screened as part of this year’s World Cinema Showcase and gets a general release next Thursday. Here’s the trailer:

Note: The film is R16 and ticket orders are limited to 4 per person. Screening will be held in the main theatre.
